It’s always wonderful to hear news of Nigerians doing great things in the diaspora. That is why at BellaNaija, we are very proud of Bunmi Awoniyi, a distinguished family and immigration law attorney on her appointment as a Judge in the Sacaramento County Superior Court.
Her appointment was announced by the California State Governor,Edmund G. Brown Jr.
Awoniyi brings to the bench 20 years of experience and training across the full spectrum of family law matters. She was an adjunct professor at the University of Northern California, Lorenzo Patiño School of Law from 1997 to 1998, an associate attorney at the Law Office of Steven L. Wessels from 1993 to 1994 and an associate attorney at the Law Office of Brady and Kent from 1992 to 1993. In 1991, she was a law clerk at the Law Office of D. Kapp Nees and a crown prosecutor at the Crown Prosecution Service in London from 1989 to 1990.
Information on her website states that she completed all her education in the United Kingdom. Awoniyi earned a Juris Doctorate degree from the Inns of Court School of Law, a Masters of Law degree from the University of Leicester School of Law and a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Essex. She is a certified family law specialist. She fills the vacancy created by the conversion of a court commissioner position on Dec. 3, 2011. Awoniyi is a Democrat.
Speaking on her appointment and the journey to achieving it, she said: “I could not be more delighted or excited. It has been a whirlwind 24hours the fruit of a year long arduous interview and screening process and an application that took me the better part of a year to complete. Through all of the many lost hours on the weekends and evenings devoted to this process, to see it come to manifestation is truly marvelous. I am humbled and God is so good! It is a new season.“
She will be paid the sum of $176,789 (over N28 million) per annum for her new position.
She is indeed an inspiration and a pride to Nigeria. Well done Bunmi Awoniyi!
Ever since her mention in the recent Forbes Africafeature as one of the richest women in Africa, Nigerian billionaire oil tycoon, Fashion designer and philanthropist, Folorunsho Alakijahas captured the attention of many as someone to watch out for. Now, another online publication, Ventures Africa has ranked her as the World’s Richest Black Woman. According to the report, she has ousted Oprah Winfrey from the position.
Ventures Africa claims that contrary to the Forbes Magazine ranking which pegs her net worth at only $600 million, Alakija is actually worth at least $3.3 billion. She earned most of her wealth from the oil and gas sector.
Alakija, 61, started out her professional career in the mid 70s as a secretary at the now defunct International Merchant Bank of Nigeria, one of the country’s earliest investment banks. In the early 80s, she quit her job and went on to study Fashion design in England, returning to Nigeria shortly afterwards to start Supreme Stitches, a premium Nigerian fashion label which catered exclusively to upscale clientele.
It takes recruiters an average of "six seconds before
they make the initial 'fit or no fit' decision" on candidates based on
resumes, according to research conducted by TheLadders. With this kind
of competition, you need to have a flawless resume to get through the
screening process.
We write a lot about resumes — what to do,
what not to do — so now we're introducing a guide to crafting a
curriculum vitae that will get you into the interview room. However,
these rules are general advice we compiled from career experts. Everyone
should tailor their own resume depending on the industry they're in and
the position they're applying for.
Tailor your resume to the specific position you're applying for

basically selling yourself on that piece of paper, so mold the
information to reflect what your potential employer is looking for in an
ideal job candidate. This is different depending on your industry.

Salpeter advises in U.S.News & World Report that candidates should
study the company's web site and "look for repeated words and phrases,
taglines, and hints about their philosophical approaches."
Then, "mirror some of their language and values in your resume."

People cross-contaminate all the time in
the kitchen and never realize it. If they're preparing chicken and reach
into the drawer for a fork or knife, they've gotten chicken germs on
the drawer's handle and on the utensils inside the drawer.
— Jo Dickerson, author of the blog "Poop on a Hot Tin Slide"
Even a seemingly spotless
kitchen might be teeming with bacteria and germs, often in places you
would never even imagine them to be. These microbes spread easily,
making their way from cutting boards, drawer knobs and countertops to
your eating utensils, food and ultimately your digestive system, where
they can make you sick.
Microbes cannot be seen with the naked eye,
of course, so you might sometimes wonder if you have actually
disinfected your kitchen or merely spread the germs around. There's no
need to fret: Experts say that with a little awareness and preparation,
you can keep your kitchen and its contents bacteria-free.
The Refrigerator Door Handle
The microbes that live
on chicken, pork and beef can almost always be found on a refrigerator
door handle, according to Dr. Eric E. Schadt, chairman of the department
of genetics and genomics sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and
chief scientific officer of Pacific Biosciences.
Germ blogger Jo Dickerson agrees, saying cross-contamination is the biggest problem in the kitchen.
Dickerson, who — in the blog "Poop
on a Hot Tin Slide" — writes about her germ-focused Expression of
obsessive compulsive disorder "and various other nasty phobias," said,
"People probably cross-contaminate all the time in the kitchen and never
realize it."
"For example," she says, "if
they're preparing chicken and reach into the drawer for a fork or knife,
they've gotten chicken germs on the drawer's handle and then on the
utensils inside the drawer too."
Hand washing is the quickest and
simplest way to prevent this contamination, says Dr. Ellen Neuhaus,
director for infectious diseases for the Eastern Connecticut Health
Network in Vernon, Connecticut. The problem, she says, is that many
people do not know how to wash their hands correctly.
"The trick to doing proper hand
hygiene is to use soap and water for 15 seconds and to shut off the
faucet with a paper towel or the elbow," Neuhaus explains. "Shutting it
off with the hands only recontaminates the hands with the very organisms
that were on them when they opened the water faucet."
